ARTS, A/V TECHNOLOGY & COMMUNICATIONS TOOLKIT


This cluster offers both creative and technical career pathways, although there is some natural overlap. Careers in Performing Arts, Visual Arts or Journalism/Broadcasting/Film require courses that draw on students' creative abilities, while careers in Audio-Video Communications Technology, Printing Technology or Telecommunications require a strong background in computer electronics and math/science. All pathways in this cluster require excellent written and verbal communication skills.

The purpose of this Toolkit is to provide teachers and administrators current resources, tools, strategies and curricula to enhance New Jersey CTE programs in the Arts, A/V Technology and Communications Career Cluster.
